Workforce is an intended runner in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes, a Group 1 race at Ascot in England next weekend, as long as the ground is suitable.
Last year's Epsom Derby and Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner - owned by Khalid Abdullah, the Saudi prince - badly disappointed in the race last year, and there had been rumblings he could miss this season's renewal following his narrow defeat to So You Think in the Coral-Eclipse at Sandown.
However, Teddy Grimthorpe, the racing manager at Abdullah's Juddmonte Farms, reiterated that Sir Michael Stoute's colt will be in the line-up if there is sufficient give in the ground.
"He's an intended runner if the ground is all right," Grimthorpe said. "We have no worries taking him back there.
"He's come out of Sandown very well.
"Physically, he has developed pretty well - and he's had two races - so I can't think of a good reason why we wouldn't go."
Juddmonte Farms would have an able deputy in Midday if Workforce were prevented from running.
"I always said that if for any reason Workforce didn't go, it could be an option for Midday," Grimthorpe told At The Races.
"Henry [Cecil] would like to consider it, but if Workforce ran she would go for the Nassau.
"Her run in Ireland puzzled us a bit, maybe she doesn't like the Curragh."

US households add $601bn of debt in 2019
American households borrowed another $601 billion (Dh2.2bn) in 2019, the largest yearly gain since 2007, just before the global financial crisis, according to February data from the New York Federal Reserve Bank.
Fuelled by rising mortgage debt as homebuyers continued to take advantage of low interest rates, the increase last year brought total household debt to a record high, surpassing the previous peak reached in 2008 just before the market crash, according to the report.
Following the 22nd straight quarter of growth, American household debt swelled to $14.15 trillion by the end of 2019, the New York Fed said in its quarterly report.
In the final three months of the year, new home loans jumped to their highest volume since the fourth quarter of 2005, while credit cards and auto loans also added to the increase.
The bad debt load is taking its toll on some households, and the New York Fed warned that more and more credit card borrowers — particularly young people — were falling behind on their payments.
"Younger borrowers, who are disproportionately likely to have credit cards and student loans as their primary form of debt, struggle more than others with on-time repayment," New York Fed researchers said.
